Buttock Implants at CREO
This surgery requires advanced skill, as the surgeon must tailor implant size, shape, and placement to each patient. Few UK surgeons are qualified for this procedure. Dr. Omar Tillo, a double board-certified body contouring specialist, has performed numerous buttock implant surgeries in London, using refined techniques to enhance lower body proportions and create a natural, balanced result.

12 WeeksBenefits of Butt Implants
Buttock augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries in the UK, as the bottom is an area of the body that many people wish to enhance to achieve their ideal figure.
A rounded, curvaceous bottom is often seen as desirable, and many patients seek it to boost body confidence. With gluteal implants available in various shapes and sizes, surgeons can correct asymmetry and enhance proportions to achieve the desired look.
While there are several options for buttock augmentation, patients may choose implants because:
- Not enough fat: A Brazilian Butt Lift isn’t possible without sufficient fat for transfer.
- Predictable results: Unlike BBL or fillers, implants aren’t absorbed by the body, reducing the need for repeat treatments.
- Greater enhancement: Implants offer more dramatic volume than can be safely achieved with other methods.

Every procedure our surgeons perform comes with Creo Clinic’s APEX Recovery System – a unique recovery protocol built and refined on years of specialised expertise.
This three-stage system combines pre-surgical optimisation, advanced anaesthetic techniques, and a post-operative strategy designed to eliminate the need for morphine.
These treatments are thoughtfully integrated into every step of your plan, ensuring your recovery is supported, refined, and medically guided. We don’t make any compromises when it comes to care … and you shouldn’t either.

Butt Implant Placement Options
Dr. Tillo places implants over, under, or within the gluteus maximus muscle, depending on factors like BMI, tissue volume, and buttock shape. Choosing the right placement requires specialist expertise.
- Submuscular: Implants go under the muscle, ideal for patients with little natural tissue. It creates a natural look but carries higher risks, including nerve and vessel damage, so it’s rarely used.
- Intramuscular: Implants are placed within the muscle. This is the most common method, offering a natural look with lower risks. It limits implant size and involves a longer recovery.
- Subcutaneous: Implants sit over the muscle. This outdated method is rarely performed due to risks of visibility, displacement, and capsular contracture.
Implant Sizes
Silicone buttock implants range from 200 to 560 ml, allowing customization of volume and projection. For natural results and safety, implants must be proportional to your body – oversized implants can cause distortion, infections, or nerve damage. An experienced surgeon is essential to selecting the right size for your anatomy and goals.
Butt Implant Procedure
Procedure
Buttock implant surgery is performed under general anaesthesia and takes one to two hours. The surgeon makes an incision—usually in the gluteal fold or between the cheeks—places the implants (most often intramuscularly), and closes with sutures.
Recovery
Swelling, soreness, and bruising are common for the first 2–3 weeks, after which most patients return to work and light activities. Exercise should be avoided for at least a month and resumed gradually.
Results
Enhancement is visible right away, but final results appear after 3–6 months once swelling subsides, leaving the buttocks fuller and natural-looking.
Premium Post-Surgical Care & Treatments
At Creo Clinic, our commitment to exceptional care doesn’t stop at the operating table.
Every procedure at Creo Clinic comes with an all-inclusive aftercare package that has everything you need to facilitate a smooth recovery.
This package includes everything from basic garments to advanced treatments like laser scar treatment and manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) massages — two essential components of optimal healing — at no additional cost.
This package is designed to help reduce stress and downtime while improving patient comfort, helping you enjoy the best possible results from your procedure as soon as possible.
Buttock Implants vs. Fat Transfer
A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) enhances the buttocks by transferring fat harvested through liposuction. At the CREO Clinic, Dr. Tillo performs his signature BEST-F technique, which injects fat superficially over the gluteal muscle. This approach lowers the risk of fat embolism while creating natural-looking results. While BBLs are popular, implants may be better for patients without enough fat or those seeking more dramatic enhancement.
While the two procedures achieve the same cosmetic goal, they differ in many ways:
| Brazilian Butt Lift | Butt Implant Surgery | |
| Results | Provides a natural enhancement to the hips and buttocks while removing excess fat from the surrounding areas | Provides a prominent enhancement to the posterior buttocks only, not to the hips |
| Anaesthetic | General or Sedation | General |
| Scarring | Minimal | Longer scars in the buttocks crease |
| Full Recovery | 3-4 weeks | 4-6 weeks |
| Longevity | Permanent | Permanent |
| Price | From 8,500 | From 10,900 |
